Quote of the Day

'One of the most common mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic, something or other which we do not possess.'

'I believe that each of us has a dream placed in the heart. I'm talking about a vision deep inside that speaks to the very soul. It's the things we were born to do. It draws on our talents and gifts. It appeals to our highest ideals. It sparks our feelings of destiny. It is inseparably linked to our purpose in life. The dream starts us on the success journey.'

Had some real duds lately. At least the new FY started with one I thought worthy.

'Without a dream, we may struggle to see potential in ourselves because we don't look beyond our current circumstances. But with a dream, we begin to see ourselves in a new light, as having greater potential and being capable of stretching and growing to reach it.'

'In the end, you can bend your actions to conform to your principles, or you can bend your principles to conform to your actions. It's a choice you have to make.'

BR
 
'Successful people don't let failure go to their heads. Instead of dwelling on the negative consequences of failure, thinking of what might have been and how things haven't worked, they focus on the rewards of success: learning from their mistakes and thinking about how they can improve themselves and their situation.'

Short and snappy.
 
'Your level of performance is a choice. You can settle for mediocrity, or you can strive for excellence. But know this: You can't make adequacy your goal and reach your potential.'

BR
 
'People with an I-don't-do-that-kind-of-work attitude who haven't paid their dues don't go very far. Being able to focus your attention almost exclusively on what you do best is a privilege you earn, not a right. But if you're going to go very far on the success journey, at some point you must narrow your focus.'

BR
 
'Most people overvalue talking and undervalue listening, even those in people-related jobs, such as sales. The truth is that effective communication is not persuasion. It's listening. Think about it: Nobody ever listened themselves out of a sale.'

BR
 
'Whether you're an engineer, homemaker, educator, or entrepreneur, success doesn't result from superior talent, intellect, or luck. Persistence pays.'

BR
 
'The air currents of life jolt us out of line and try to keep us from achieving our goals. Unexpected weather can change our direction and strategy. We must adjust our thinking continually so we can live to our full potential.'

BR
 
'Many people are able to recognise an opportunity after it has already passed them by. But seeing opportunities coming, that's a different matter. Opportunities are seldom labeled. That's why you have to learn what they look like and how to seize them.'

BR
 
'Your attitude - not intelligence, talent, education, technical ability, opportunity, or even hard work - is the main factor that determines whether you will live your dream. Attitude determines how far you can go on the success journey.'

Something similar - 'Its your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude' .
